Write and schedule an article
Write an article, save it as a draft, and publish it now or at a set time in your site’s timezone.
This is the everyday newsroom task: a match report, a feature, a club announcement. You need the Blog & articles permission, and the Blog switch must be on in Studio → System → Settings → Content → Features, or Blog & Articles is missing from your menu.
Write the article
- 1Start a new post
Go to Studio → Content → Blog & Articles and click NEW POST.
- 2Add the headline and excerpt
Type the Title — the only required field — and an Excerpt, the short summary shown on article cards.
- 3Write the body
Write in Body. The editor’s formatting matches what readers see on the published page.
- 4Pick a cover
Under Cover image, click Pick from Media Library and choose the image for the article header and cards.
- 5File it
Choose a Category and add Tags. On a sports platform, tag Teams and Roster members too, so the article appears on their pages.
- 6Fill in search details
Under SEO, add an SEO title and SEO description for search results.
Publish now or schedule
- 1Publish now
Leave Publish date empty and click PUBLISH POST. The article goes live immediately, stamped with the current time.
- 2Or schedule it
Set Publish date to the day and time the article should appear, then click PUBLISH POST.
- 3Check the list
Back in Studio → Content → Blog & Articles, the Status column reads Draft, Scheduled or Published.
| Status | How you get there | On the public site |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | Save as draft | Not visible |
| Scheduled | PUBLISH POST with a future Publish date | Not visible, and its link doesn’t open, until that time |
| Published | PUBLISH POST with no date or a past date | Live |
Editing a saved article
Switch on Feature this post to place an article in the homepage blog block and at the top of the public blog list. The article list filters by status, access, category, tag and featured, and sorts by newest, oldest, most viewed or title.
